inRoute 6.4 has been released, now with routing to up to 150 locations, and interface updates to make planning your routes faster and easier.

Higher Limits

Pro plans can now create, import and optimize routes with up to 150 locations.

Streamlined Actions
A new icon (More Options) replaces the prior Action/Share icon for common tasks. This provides quicker access for actions like saving, clearing and importing routes, with sharing to 3rd party apps now grouped under the Share button.

Also New

• Swipe right from the left edge of the screen to close most fullscreen windows on iPhones. On larger screen iPhones this is often easier than reaching to the top corner’s Done button.
• New option to restore previous revisions of your Bookmarks has been added to Settings. Revisions are stored locally on your device and backed up with your device backups.
• A close button has been added to Charts, in addition to the previous toolbar button.
• iOS 11 or higher is required for this release. Users running previous iOS versions can still download the previous inRoute release compatible with their device.
• Performance updates

inRoute 6.2 is now available, with Siri integration for starting/ending routes and skipping waypoints on iOS 11, weather alerts that automatically dismiss during navigation, and more.

Siri Integration (iOS 11)

Use Siri to start/end routes and skip waypoints:
– Start/Resume Current Route: “Hey Siri, Start route using inRoute”
– Skip a Location: “Hey Siri, Skip next location using inRoute”
– End Current Route: “Hey Siri, End route using inRoute”
– Load from Bookmarks: “Hey Siri, Start activity named {Bookmark name} using inRoute”

Activating Siri with “Hey Siri” may require enabling this feature on your device (Settings app > Siri and Search). Instead of activating with “Hey Siri”, you can also hold the the home button to activate Siri (or the side button on iPhone X). Variations on the above commands work as well (e.g. Skip waypoint using inRoute, Skip location…, Start {Bookmark name}…), but we’ve found Siri to respond most reliably with the commands above.

Also New

• Weather alerts automatically dismiss after 10 seconds during navigation
• Performance updates and minor interface improvements

Interface Updates
The last viewed position in your Bookmarks is now remembered, and there are new controls for auto-zoom and optimization in the Settings.

inRoute 5.2 has been released, including the ability to designate Waypoints as non-spoken Vias, improvements in saving and sharing POI (point of interest) pins, a Max Speed setting for slower vehicles, and much more.

Vias

Guide a route along a preferred road by designating a waypoint as a Via, and it won’t be announced during navigation for minimal distraction (set on waypoint’s layover screen). Vias may also be used with GPX files available from other apps and websites: just import and tap “Go” to navigate.

Route List Multi-Select

The Route list (top-left) now supports selecting multiple places, so you can change layovers, designate Vias, or remove from the route, for several or all places at once.

Save Non-Route Pins

Save all non-route pins at once, for example points of interest for a trip, with the new button in the Action/Share menu (bottom-center).

Export Entire Map Content

Sharing via Mail, Messages, or AirDrop now includes all map pins, including non-route pins, in the exported GPX file. Configure in the app’s Settings.

Max Speed Option

For slower vehicles, you can now set a maximum speed for more accurate travel time estimates and weather forecasts. Max speed is set in the app’s Settings (map’s Info icon > Gear icon).

Also New

• Routing and navigation improvements under the hood.
• Ability to pan the map during navigation added.
• Tap a point on any data chart to briefly show its location and data value on the map.
